UA-eMBMS for PS-LTE

UA-eMBMS for PS-LTE

(evolved Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service)

3GPP is a standard technology for public safety communication networks and PS-LTE (Public Safety-LTE) technology is adopted as a standard. The National Disaster Communication Network also adopts PS-LTE technology as a standard specification. The GCSE (Group Communication Service Enabler) standard technology specified by PS-LTE defines the multicast type group communication service using the eMBMS system, in order for a large number of emergency responders on the disaster scene to smoothly establish group communication in the same cell. The Uangel eMBMS system has successfully demonstrated eMBMS-based PS-LTE on a commercial LTE network for the first time in the world, along with global communication service providers and equipment vendors.

System
BM-SC (Broadcast/Multicast Service Centre) Receiving group communication data from the GCS AS or GCS GW, and broadcasting it in the pertinent area and entire area.
MBMS GW (MBMS Gateway) Performing a function of transferring the BM-SC’s control signal to EPC, and propagating the broadcasting data of the BM-SC to eNB.
GCS GW (Group Communication Service Gateway) A system that performs eMBMS functions separately among GCS AS functions, and enables large-scale group communication by interfacing the PTT server.
Key features
  • Complying with the latest 3GPP/ETSI/IETF specifications.
  • Providing up to 1,000 sessions (channels) and 2Gbps bandwidth per one BM-SC.
  • Flexible structure that supports an increase in line with the increase in the number of sessions.
  • Providing the redundancy and session recovery function to cope with failure.
  • Providing a group communication function in region and country.
  • Supporting voice communication and video communication.

  • Successfully demonstrated GCSE using the eMBMS for the first time in the world in December 2015.
  • Demonstrated and introduced the solution to MWC in February 2016.
